I love this teaching! NO theatrics, no emotional manipulation, no yelling and pontificating . . .just a gifted teacher sharing truth from God's word. This is the stuff that changes hearts and has lasting value. The lost world can listen and consider rather than be repulsed by the "show" so many put on. Thank you, Dr. Keller, for teaching in a way that honors God's word and recognizes no theatrics are needed. Truth penetrates on it's own.
Hi My sister This is my advice to you out of compassion for you: Read the Holy Quran for in it is admonition. And it warns you. It is a harbinger of severe torment.
Tim Keller is the gift that keeps on giving even in his passing. Thank you for the sermon, the wisdom, the teaching. I guess now God needs you more in heaven. Truly a Haeman of his generation. Thank you God for using him to make sense of You more ❤
And feeling abandoned could kill u with depression. U struggle w. those thoughts for life. That’s y some wanted death instead of feeling so horrible all the time.
@@marioa-b5345 I think she was referring to how at the cross, Jesus cried out to the Father, "Why have you forsaken me?" as He paid the price for our sins so we can have forgiveness in Him. God bless you :)
I’m from Wuhan, China, we are suffering from the coronavirus, only God’s Word can comfort me, thank you for the video, may God help healing all the patients and strength our faith
Thirty four years ago a dear friend told me that a new pastor was starting a church in our city and he wanted to visit it. So we went to Redeemer Presbyterian Church in 1989 and we met Tim Keller. I was a baby Christian at the time and had never been taught the foundations of my faith or sound theology until I started listening to Pastor Tim. He informed my faith and set my feet upon the Rock, our Lord. I’ve been to many churches and heard many sermons since those early years but I can’t remember any of them. Only Tim’s teaching and preaching still remains in my heart and the Holy Spirit brings his words back to me when I need them most. I also want you to know that he is one of the kindest Christian pastors I have ever know met. He is genuine, honest, gentle, respectful and he really loves the body of Christ. I’m so glad that he is beyond his earthly sufferings now and is finally home with Jesus. Finally I would just like to address those who have questioned his worth or demeaned Tim’s name in some of the comments I have read here. Was Tim perfect? Absolutely not! And, I too believe that he missed the mark on at least two accounts in his later years. His social justice advocacy stance I believe was not biblical and his seeker friendly approach to evangelism saddened me. However, God used him mightily to save thousands of unbelievers, to plant many other biblically based churches and, to those who knew him personally, be a strong witness of the gentle power, humility and love of Jesus Christ. We have receive abundant (undeserved) Mercy and are called to be vessels of mercy and not of wrath. What Tim has given to me and myriads of others is beyond description and eternally precious! This teaching video has brought comfort to many of us who have listened. The Grace of God was truly on Tim’s life until the end. Blessed and Merciful Father God, please help us to be as loving as our brother and your servant Tim Keller. God bless you all!✝️❣️🙏
Please saints. Pray for me. I feel as though I am in darkness now. Suffering a great trial with prolonged sickness that has no end in sight. May God strengthen and uphold me. May I find my strength in Christ and grow and see His mercy. May I find healing too! I actually feel bad to ask the Lord for healing aswell, although I know He heals and delights in that - if that is His will.
Watching in 4/10/24. Darkest moment of my life with a liver tumour the size of 10cm. But I felt God is with me as I cried out to him. He will not leave nor forsake me. Pray for me that the tumour will grow smaller and doesn't require surgery. I declared that by the stripes of Jesus Christ, I am healed. Amen
Rest in peace Ps Tim Keller. Your writings have always inspired me and ignited hope within. I’m thankful for your work and am glad you’re now enjoying forever with Jesus.
“I’m your God not because you put on a happy face in the morning, I’m your God not because you do everything right all the time or get it right a lot... I’m your God because I’m a God of GRACE” ♥️
I found out last Sunday at church Mr Keller passed away. Our minister was deeply affected by the sad news. He considered Mr Keller a mentor. Prayers for his family
From C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters, Chapter 8 : "Be not deceived, Wormwood, our cause is never more in jeopardy than when a human, no longer desiring but still intending to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe in which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys."
@@joanhowland4141 May Jesus be close to you in your darkness and may the God of all comfort wrap His mighty arms around you and bring you peace and strength.❤️❤️❤️
1:55 I have watched this about 7 times over the last year and shared it with many friends. This sermon is one of many of Keller’s that touched me deeply. I miss him much but know he will be fully restored on that glorious morning when we see Jesus❤
For me this has been the most meaningful sermon I ever listened to. The first time I listened to this, on my commute home, there I was, behind the wheel, bawling my eyes out. Whenever life is hard, I need this sermon. I don't know how many times I've listened to this. An amazing amazing powerful sermon.
''suffering is painful and terrible...but half the pain is from the false expectations. half the pain you're experiencing is not from the suffering but from those false expectations. this shouldnt happen to me. a servant is not above his master. remember Jesus suffered. im not above Him. when we're in despair, we often exaggerate. the very presence of those prayers (ps 39 & ps 88) in the bible...show us that God understands how we speak when we're desperate, in despair. Im your God not bcos you put on a happy face in the morning. Im your God not bcos you say everything right. Im your God not bcos you do everything right. Im your God bcos Im a God of Grace.'' AMEN! This blessed me so much! Thank you Tim! You are still blessing us.
This hits home. For 7 years I was facing death dealing with an illness with unending pain, but worst of all i knew that i would be leaving my disabled single mother behind in this world. I grew to know darkness deeply and intimately and empathize with every murderer and evildoer throughout history. Like this man in the Bible i cursed and wrestled with God buti can say now that because of how far and stubborn I was, God needed to deal this heavy blow. But moreso than that, God wanted me back. I'm still traumatized and broken but I am growing in every way that matters. Getting pretty healthy too.
@@enterty4364 1. God is the one that gifts us faith. Faith isn't something that we can attain through our own works. That said, we can ask God to grant us this faith. 2. Just as how there are trillions of organisms in the universe, God's faith can be given in any way he sees fit. Whether that's through scripture, a sequence of events, a small seed of faith that's been given as a child, or a crushing blow to the core of our very being -- all we can do is make a genuine decision to accept that seed of faith and press forward and invest in the relationship to truly see for yourself where the relationship takes you. 3. As with all relationships, you need to invest your heart and time into it. That's what God wants and that's one of the ways in which the seed can grow. I wish you all the best.
@@enterty4364 Instead of trying to say the exact right words and do something to recieve it, you may just pour your heart to God, ask Him for help and trust in Jesus. I pray for you both
A wonderful message… so encouraging and what I needed to hear in this moment in 2024. Thank you Timothy Keller who I know has passed from his darkness into the very presence of God.
How did he transform your life? Keller was frown upon by many respectable prominent Christians scholars who found him to be a heretic. He was more into urban humanist Christianity, a hippie guru love gospel where love cures all things. Very much removed from the core message of the gospel. Please study him and you will see he was very controversial, if not he had a lot of disturbing messages that did not align with the gospel. Also I left the NYC Redeemer bc of the tone, message and style of the church, super worldly, hipster, and always without fail a humanist message of urban love rather than the love of Jesus Christ of repentance.
Thank you....a hug from God in this message. My husband went through so much physical illness and mental PTSD but never ever gave up on God. His last few text/thoughts before being called home were God is Good and I don't understand but I still trust Him. He struggled to feel God but never gave up in believing. A legacy for his kids and I. Thank you Pastor Keller for explaining so well God's truth. I learn so much.
I love Tim Keller, and will deeply miss his presence here on Earth, for now. His words always resonated with so much truth and wisdom, and shone hope into the darkest times in my life where nothing else seemed to penetrate. He always had such a logical, straightforward approach to explaining even the most difficult topics. His teaching will forever have an immense impact on my life as a Christian and I will take take heart from the fact that he is finally in the midst of that eternal joy of our creator:)
This sermon is certainly the most pertinent I've ever heard. While I've only been a follower of Jesus for a few years, the tenor of Psalm 88 generslly captures how I've felt since I was young. And while I have certainty now that Jesus died for us, still the darkness keeps invading my heart; but it's made all the more bearable because of that certainty, and it is this very sermon I just watched that has propped another pillar under this weary soul. Thank you, Chris, for sending me this; Thank you, Pastor Tim, God rest your soul, for so powerfully preaching on this subject; And thank you, Jesus Christ my savior, for loving us all so. Thank you, God.
When Ps Tim brought Jesus into the picture at the end of the message, everything, including our pain and suffering fell into place. My pain is incomparable to what Christ suffered for me on the cross. He was a Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief.
Thank you Pastor Timothy Keller for reminding me that in times of deep darkness I can never be abandoned because by Grace my salvation is fully in tact through Jesus who was confronted with total darkness and overcame. (Missing you only until we meet again...)
I have been floundering a bit trying to find someone who speaks to what I feel. Thank you Dr. Keller for this sermon and for sharing your understanding. I have come to understand what you speak about but have felt alone in my circumstances. Hearing another human articulate it has soothed my despair and given me continued hope. Thanks also to whoever uploaded this talk. God bless you all for your service!
Music he is confounded. Everybody needs to know this! The whole world is drunk on the doctrines of Babylon! INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY the visible Christian church. PLEASE if you can sense the deadness of the institutional churches and different ministries but can't put your finger on it. I'm pleading with you to understand something very important here. The mainstream Christian system is not of God. Rev 17:5 - "Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots, And Abominations Of The Earth." Mystery Babylon The Great is the Vatican - “And the woman which thou sawest, is that great Citie which reigneth ouer the kings of the earth.” - Rev 17:18 And she has harlot daughters which represent the protestant churches. And “the Abominations Of The Earth” are corrupt scriptures. And the final bible that will unite all faiths is called Wormwood/the Abomination of desolation. cvillebiblebaptist.com/AdultEducation/Vatican%20and%20United%20Nations%20Bible.pdf And Jesus Christ is calling His people out.
Rev 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heauen, saying, Come out of her, my people, that yee be not partakers of her sinnes, and that yee receiue not of her plagues:” The most important thing to understand is that GOD CAN BE TRUSTED to preserve His word for every generation forever as He promises us in Psalms 12:6-7 and you do not need men to teach you. 1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye haue receiued of him, abideth in you: and yee need not that any man teach you: But, as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is trueth, and is no lye: and euen as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” It’s vital to know, especially right now, that God has kept His word in tact. There is still an every word testimony with us! The following clip by Reg Block is what the Lord used to open my eyes to the truth of Gods promises in Mark 13:31, Psalm 12:6-7, Psalms 138:2, and Matt 4:4 and so on. It’s not more lifeless information. It is powerful and life changing and I’m grateful for it! th-cam.com/video/tAMOquyQu-8/w-d-xo.html The next video is a lesson by John Doerr on the pure word of God in the English language, which is found in the av1611 kjv. This is a much different testimony than the King James bible you are able to easily find in the churches and the so called "Christian bookstores". Please pray and genuinely take this before the Lord. He will show you. (Prepare to be attacked once you start down this path) The devil and his ministers don’t want this going out. th-cam.com/video/C9lIWdQ0rc0/w-d-xo.html I prayed a long time to know what the truth was, because over the years I grew increasingly confused, frustrated, misguided and so on.. But like most of us, I kept returning to church Sunday after next hoping something would change. If I sang more, prayed harder, got more involved, etc, ...maybe something would give. But nothing ever did. I must have walked a thousand isles. It had gotten to a point where a friend at the time said, “just try and sing". He meant well, but it was always disingenuous so I never did. Long story short - my whole Christian life was that way until recently. (powerless) God has since opened my eyes and I trust Him alone. I really hope this reaches somebody. If this is you... honestly, please look into what I’m saying. God is rich in mercy and His patience is unmatched. He's been drawing me for a long time. Maybe He’s drawing you too and this is the message you needed.

Keller seems good. Do a little more digging. Look up tim Keller and Marxism, you will probably get some results. Or tim Keller and critical race theory. He mixes the gospel with current popular political ideas.
@@prayunceasingly2029 Keller doesn't do extremes with his politics. He falls in the middle somewhere. There is some truth on the left as there is on the right. If you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.
Wonderful message. So I need to ask myself, 'why do I serve the Lord?' I am going through dark times. Do I serve the Lord because I love Him? If I do not find healing, then I must trust that God's grace will be sufficient to see me through to the end. Lord help us all to endure for your glory. Because of Christ and His work on the cross, there is always hope.
I thank God that He brought me to listen to your preaching Dr. Tim Keller. I don't know how hopeless my condition might have been had I not heard your preaching. Your life has been a tremendous force for the Lord in millions of lives like mine. Thank you.
Co-sign! I watched this days before he died and I am back here again. What an inspiration he was in the way he lived through illness - what a witness. His life has been such a blessing. Well done, Timothy.
"Nothing that the Resurrection won't cure". How simple, profound - and true.Thank You Jesus; You are the Resurrection and the Life. You will make all things new!
I've been going through one of my darkest periods right now, emotionless, disconnected, finding it hard to pray, almost convinced I've committed the unpardonable sin. But after hearing all this, and knowing- REALLY knowing what Jesus went through for me... I broke down sobbing. My dark period is nothing next to what he went through. Just enough, *just in time.* Thank you, Jesus. 😭 It's only now that I've come to realize the depth of your love for me.
I hope you are in a better place, especially in light of the virus and riots. If you are afraid that you committed the unpardonable sin, that means you haven't. Ask for forgiveness then accept it and forgive yourself. God bless you.

2nd time watching this, in awe of this quote: “When you go through darkness if you don’t feel God’s there. But you hold on anyway, and you say, "you know what you’re God and I’m not and I’m not getting anything out of this but I’m still going to pray, I’m still gonna go to church and worship I’m still going to love my neighbor I’m still gonna do the things I ought to do..That will turn you into a person not self-centered not in a transactional relationship up and down all the time it’ll turn you into a person of endurance, of stability, of strength, of greatness…" -Tim Keller: How to deal with dark times. Amen! Thank you Lord for this encouragement. It is so hard when we go through darkness even to the point when darkness is our closest friend. Yet You taught us Lord that it is okay to pray of our struggles and to feel the despairs of life. Thank you Lord for giving us hope through Jesus who experienced total darkness and overcame it all. Post tenebras spero lucem...
I think I’ve watched this 5 times... wanting to remember EVERY WORD. Our son took his life 04/26/2019...nearly a year later, i am limping through life. I have said words similar to Heman... darkness IS sometimes my only friend, but I still get up each morning and get dressed...attend church every Sunday... but my heart still does not “feel” God’s love & comfort. I know it will eventually...and I have never been angry at God...
Absolutely loved it too. Passed through a divorce and I gotta say, one of the worst things that can happen in a man’s life is to constitute a family and after years of marriage to found himself apart from his loved ones
What a beautiful reminder that our God is rock solid in goodness, faithfulness and grace. He does not run away from us in our weakness, pain and suffering but carries us through, working it all for good and for His glory. Hallelujah! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Caron Lurrie I pray you learn understanding and Gods wisdom for you, in the darkness you are in. I pray you find relief and rest in Him. Romans 8:35 & 8:18, Col 3:13, Luke 6:27, Matt 11:28 and Psalm 27:14, God bless
Same here. I was thinking my whole family has been in darkness for the last two months, then last Sunday, our church reached out to us and prayed with us, and prayed for the light. Then the next morning, when I searched for the song "Worthy is the lamb", this video came out on my youtube. God is faithful! He went through the absolute darkness os that we don't have to. May God strengthen all of our hearts in Him!
Im going thorugh the darkest times of my entire 47 years. Never experienced despair quite like this. Only Jesus can get me through this. Please pray for strength and endurance, and not to be angry with God.
Here is my book; you'll love it; and I will pray for you right now. A chapter from my book about The Strange Act Of Jesus Christ. It's free to access, and read.

You have indeed found a treasure my friend! I have been a Christian for many years and deeply involved in church, but Dr. Keller’s teaching has transformed my faith to help me truly walk with Jesus, understanding more about who he is, every single day. Listen to his sermon on A Christian’s Happiness. Life-changing, like this one. Grace and peace to you in your journey.
This Psalmist prayer is not blasphemy or insult to God. This prayer is being honest with God. This sounds exactly like me. I show my frustration to God. God is a good listener. There is no one in this entire world who will genuinely listens to how you are feeling in dark times. Its only God. He can handle it. God is never upset with me because of my honesty. God listens and then He comforts you. He embraces you after all that.
This is the best sermon on suffering I've ever heard. I desperately needed something that avoided platitudes and honestly acknowledged true pain and how to hold onto God whilst maintaining authenticity.
Anytime we are in darkness, we have to realize Christ suffered. Abraham, when he took Isaac to be sacrificed...can you imagine what was going thru his mind?
Agreed. A year later, this is still true but takes a more determined clinging to God to know this deeply in our hearts and minds. Thank God for Easter Sunday.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
I just thank God for the life and ministry of Dr. Keller. I owe him so much. His work has encouraged me over many years, helping to built my faith in Christ.
Tim Keller is a truly world class Bible teacher. RIP. Also just to say I think most of these same principles also apply to those who are not depressed, but still find it difficult to cultivate strong feelings of emotion/empathy towards God, despite knowing that Christianity is objectively true. I'm on the Autistic spectrum, and know shed loads of systematic theology and apologetics, but at the same time also have moderate alexithymia my whole life, towards others and towards God. I've struggled to break free from a transactional view of faith for as long as I can remember. Overall this was extremely helpful and Godly.
He explains everything from the heart and he has human knowledge and observation so deep. And his sermons are interesting and he is never boring. He must be with God now.
Your expositions of the Word is increasing my maturity as a Christian. Listening to them has shifted me to another gear - I more than before appreciate God’s grace & seek on a daily basis to move away from the transactional relation many of us were fed. May God continue to keep your wife and children in His shadow.
A year into the pandemic. Lost friends, family, loved ones, and became filled with resentment, hopelessness and anger.. Really needed this. Thank you and bless you Tim.
Ten minutes in, and I am already putting the whole sermon into several playlists entitled "sane gospel" "medicine cabinet" and "God's character". Ah, and "rewatch", of course. ♥️💎
I stumbled upon your video - I have never heard anyone speak on this Psalm. My ex husband committed suicide and they found this Psalm in his billfold. I also have felt that God had abandoned me - so thank you so much for showing me the hope of God even in this horrible and hopeless darkness! God bless

I had the chance to meet Tim Keller & visit his church and i truly enjoy and bless by his WISDOM. Bless you pastor Tim & thanks for giving a complete different PERSPECTIVE of GOSPEL NO TRANSACTIONAL (VERY ORGANIC)
Life changing perspective: Job still prayed! Sure he complained and was angry, but He expressed those to God! Thank you so much for posting this video!
Jim Chumley Heavenly Father, in the name of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ, I come to you on behalf of Jim. You know his situation but nothing is hopeless for you. Thank You for Your love, mercy and grace towards those who call out to you. Comfort, strengthen and cover Jim with Your peace as You unfold Your perfect plan in his situation . If he knows you, please strengthen this time of darkness, if he doesn’t, please draw him to Yourself and open his spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear ... to understand that Jesus died for the consequences of our sins and that upon believing and accepting this merciful act of divine grace, that we ... he becomes Your child and that You will rescue him not only from Hell but his insurmountable troubles here and now. May he know the all powerful, sovereign, loving, merciful God that you are and that what he is going through now is the making of an amazing testimony to encourage others and to draw other to You dear Lord - our Creator and loving Saviour but righteous Judge who will pronounce deserving judgement on the unrighteous, the unrepentant, in Jesus’ mighty name I pray -Amen!
Praying for you right now. Praying for God's peace for you that passes understanding. God knows your situation. He has a plan. I know that sounds so trite, but it is true. Praying for the best possible and quick solution. More than that, I pray that God draws you close.
Father God, forgive me. I'm just like Heman. I complain and grumble and doubt You when I'm experiencing internal and external darkness. Forgive me for not trusting in Your unfailing love. I am YOUR child and YOUR servant, and it is not the other way around. I love you, dear Jesus. Thank You 🙏🏻🙌🏼✝️
This message was very helpful. Even after regeneration I lose my way and wander and I get angry with God and His spirit seems to leave me completely but yet even when I cry out to Him I love Him in the emptiness but more importantly He’s there and still loves me. Just the slightest touch from Him is unimaginable joy.
Scott Riley here is a point in the right direction. Everybody needs to know this! The whole world is drunk on the doctrines of Babylon! INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY the visible Christian church. PLEASE if you can sense the deadness of the institutional churches and different ministries but can't put your finger on it. I'm pleading with you to understand something very important here. The mainstream Christian system is not of God. Rev 17:5 - "Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots, And Abominations Of The Earth." Mystery Babylon The Great is the Vatican - “And the woman which thou sawest, is that great Citie which reigneth ouer the kings of the earth.” - Rev 17:18 And she has harlot daughters which represent the protestant churches. And “the Abominations Of The Earth” are corrupt scriptures. And the final bible that will unite all faiths is called Wormwood/the Abomination of desolation. cvillebiblebaptist.com/AdultEducation/Vatican%20and%20United%20Nations%20Bible.pdf And Jesus Christ is calling His people out.
Rev 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heauen, saying, Come out of her, my people, that yee be not partakers of her sinnes, and that yee receiue not of her plagues:” The most important thing to understand is that GOD CAN BE TRUSTED to preserve His word for every generation forever as He promises us in Psalms 12:6-7 and you do not need men to teach you. 1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye haue receiued of him, abideth in you: and yee need not that any man teach you: But, as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is trueth, and is no lye: and euen as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” It’s vital to know, especially right now, that God has kept His word in tact. There is still an every word testimony with us! The following clip by Reg Block is what the Lord used to open my eyes to the truth of Gods promises in Mark 13:31, Psalm 12:6-7, Psalms 138:2, and Matt 4:4 and so on. It’s not more lifeless information. It is powerful and life changing and I’m grateful for it! th-cam.com/video/tAMOquyQu-8/w-d-xo.html The next video is a lesson by John Doerr on the pure word of God in the English language, which is found in the av1611 kjv.

He will show you. (Prepare to be attacked once you start down this path) The devil and his ministers don’t want this going out. th-cam.com/video/C9lIWdQ0rc0/w-d-xo.html I prayed a long time to know what the truth was, because over the years I grew increasingly confused, frustrated, misguided and so on..

Incredibly insightful teaching and so very encouraging. I'm in the middle of the darkest times of my 46 years, suffering abandonment and what I feel is injustice. To be able to ingest sound, Biblical truth that says it's in the midst of these horrible times, I can both learn more of God's grace and better stride to greatness than when in prosperous times - this encourages and inspires me, comforts and strengthens me. Glory to God!
Brian W Amen! "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways." Isaiah 55:8-9 “My brethren, Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” James 1:2-3 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. James 4:8
Brian W Cling to the Word of God. 2010 was my season of abandonment and injustice...but these seasons have a beginning, middle, and end. The first 3 chapters of the Psalms blessed me greatly. Prayers and blessings
Greg Snyder thank you very much. Definitely clinging to scripture. The book of Habakkuk is a great read and the declarations he chooses to make at the end lift my soul. “Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty; yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will remain joyful in the God of my salvation! The sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as sure footed as a deer, able to trade it up on the heights.” Reading two new books- Craig Groeschel’s Hope in the Dark and Lysa TerHeurst’s It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way”, both really good. Thank you for the encouragement!
Thank you so much Mr Keller, what an amazing message. It was truly meant to be heard by me today. I’ll definitely be listening to it again. I am not alone in my darkness
Definitely bingeing on his video sermons in the last couple of weeks and taking some notes too. His insight on these videos is really interesting and uplifting. Thank God for Pastor Keller's ministry.

Tim Keller is such a blessing with such an anointing from God to teach, I always come away from his sermons uplifted, edified and more in love with Jesus than ever before
Natalie Nubukpo, Amen! A concept Timothy Keller does well in reminding us is how the more we see Jesus Christ and learn about Him, we are constantly reminded how He demands much less and much more at the same time. Such applies to situations of suffering; and knowing Jesus Christ more and more makes situations of suffering demand more from us to stay joyful and ethical while promising us how there are greater & better things ahead. There is a demand to have a more resilient self and realize how He makes all things work together for the good of those who believe in Him but also with promises that God will eventually give us more than what we can ever imagine. Many people turn to different philosophies and religions when there is suffering; and they cry out in despair in most crucial times. All of them have so many different answers to suffering including some that state such is only an illusion.

I LOVE this sermon! You are so right! If you come to Jesus for any other reason than accepting His free gift of salvation and loving Him for His love, grace, mercy and faithfulness, you are in danger of falling away in disappointment. Hold fast to the anchor of Truth, in what your eyes cannot see & sometimes you cannot feel.
I love this teaching! NO theatrics, no emotional manipulation, no yelling and pontificating . . .just a gifted teacher sharing truth from God's word. This is the stuff that changes hearts and has lasting value. The lost world can listen and consider rather than be repulsed by the "show" so many put on. Thank you, Dr. Keller, for teaching in a way that honors God's word and recognizes no theatrics are needed. Truth penetrates on it's own.
THANKS Nikki excellent comment!!

And feeling abandoned could kill u with depression. U struggle w. those thoughts for life. That’s y some wanted death instead of feeling so horrible all the time.

Thirty four years ago a dear friend told me that a new pastor was starting a church in our city and he wanted to visit it. So we went to Redeemer Presbyterian Church in 1989 and we met Tim Keller. I was a baby Christian at the time and had never been taught the foundations of my faith or sound theology until I started listening to Pastor Tim. He informed my faith and set my feet upon the Rock, our Lord. I’ve been to many churches and heard many sermons since those early years but I can’t remember any of them. Only Tim’s teaching and preaching still remains in my heart and the Holy Spirit brings his words back to me when I need them most. I also want you to know that he is one of the kindest Christian pastors I have ever know met. He is genuine, honest, gentle, respectful and he really loves the body of Christ. I’m so glad that he is beyond his earthly sufferings now and is finally home with Jesus.
Finally I would just like to address those who have questioned his worth or demeaned Tim’s name in some of the comments I have read here. Was Tim perfect? Absolutely not! And, I too believe that he missed the mark on at least two accounts in his later years. His social justice advocacy stance I believe was not biblical and his seeker friendly approach to evangelism saddened me. However, God used him mightily to save thousands of unbelievers, to plant many other biblically based churches and, to those who knew him personally, be a strong witness of the gentle power, humility and love of Jesus Christ. We have receive abundant (undeserved) Mercy and are called to be vessels of mercy and not of wrath.
What Tim has given to me and myriads of others is beyond description and eternally precious! This teaching video has brought comfort to many of us who have listened. The Grace of God was truly on Tim’s life until the end. Blessed and Merciful Father God, please help us to be as loving as our brother and your servant Tim Keller. God bless you all!✝️❣️🙏
Please saints. Pray for me. I feel as though I am in darkness now. Suffering a great trial with prolonged sickness that has no end in sight. May God strengthen and uphold me. May I find my strength in Christ and grow and see His mercy. May I find healing too! I actually feel bad to ask the Lord for healing aswell, although I know He heals and delights in that - if that is His will.
Im praying! Please read psalms if you need encouragement

Rest in peace Ps Tim Keller. Your writings have always inspired me and ignited hope within. I’m thankful for your work and am glad you’re now enjoying forever with Jesus.
He gave me quite a chuckle with that quote from The Princess Bride!
There is NOTHING that the resurrection won't cure, that's so beautiful to ponder!

From C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters, Chapter 8 : "Be not deceived, Wormwood, our cause is never more in jeopardy than when a human, no longer desiring but still intending to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe in which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys."

"God knows how men speak when they are desperate" So true! What a lovely sermon.
Hélia Alves yeah he probably learnt that from the listening and not doing anything’s for the millions that got slaughtered in the holocaust.
1:55 I have watched this about 7 times over the last year and shared it with many friends. This sermon is one of many of Keller’s that touched me deeply. I miss him much but know he will be fully restored on that glorious morning when we see Jesus❤
For me this has been the most meaningful sermon I ever listened to. The first time I listened to this, on my commute home, there I was, behind the wheel, bawling my eyes out.
Whenever life is hard, I need this sermon. I don't know how many times I've listened to this. An amazing amazing powerful sermon.
So many bits of wisdom to be taken from this whole sermon. God bless this man’s legacy.
“The very presence of this prayer in the Scriptures, is a witness to God’s understanding”
Wow
Pray your feelings
Exactly
''suffering is painful and terrible...but half the pain is from the false expectations.
half the pain you're experiencing is not from the suffering but from those false expectations. this shouldnt happen to me.
a servant is not above his master. remember Jesus suffered. im not above Him.
when we're in despair, we often exaggerate. the very presence of those prayers (ps 39 & ps 88) in the bible...show us that God understands how we speak when we're desperate, in despair. Im your God not bcos you put on a happy face in the morning. Im your God not bcos you say everything right. Im your God not bcos you do everything right. Im your God bcos Im a God of Grace.'' AMEN! This blessed me so much! Thank you Tim! You are still blessing us.

I grew to know darkness deeply and intimately and empathize with every murderer and evildoer throughout history. Like this man in the Bible i cursed and wrestled with God buti can say now that because of how far and stubborn I was, God needed to deal this heavy blow. But moreso than that, God wanted me back. I'm still traumatized and broken but I am growing in every way that matters. Getting pretty healthy too.
How did you come to believe in God and Jesus Christ? I am suffering greatly and trying to receive grace myself.
@@enterty4364 1. God is the one that gifts us faith. Faith isn't something that we can attain through our own works. That said, we can ask God to grant us this faith. 2. Just as how there are trillions of organisms in the universe, God's faith can be given in any way he sees fit. Whether that's through scripture, a sequence of events, a small seed of faith that's been given as a child, or a crushing blow to the core of our very being -- all we can do is make a genuine decision to accept that seed of faith and press forward and invest in the relationship to truly see for yourself where the relationship takes you. 3. As with all relationships, you need to invest your heart and time into it. That's what God wants and that's one of the ways in which the seed can grow. I wish you all the best.
@@enterty4364 Instead of trying to say the exact right words and do something to recieve it, you may just pour your heart to God, ask Him for help and trust in Jesus. I pray for you both
A wonderful message… so encouraging and what I needed to hear in this moment in 2024. Thank you Timothy Keller who I know has passed from his darkness into the very presence of God.
This was such a helpful message for me. This is also my first time listening to Tim Keller and I am thankful to find him
RIP Mr. Keller. You transformed my life.
How did he transform your life? Keller was frown upon by many respectable prominent Christians scholars who found him to be a heretic. He was more into urban humanist Christianity, a hippie guru love gospel where love cures all things. Very much removed from the core message of the gospel. Please study him and you will see he was very controversial, if not he had a lot of disturbing messages that did not align with the gospel. Also I left the NYC Redeemer bc of the tone, message and style of the church, super worldly, hipster, and always without fail a humanist message of urban love rather than the love of Jesus Christ of repentance.
Thank you....a hug from God in this message. My husband went through so much physical illness and mental PTSD but never ever gave up on God. His last few text/thoughts before being called home were God is Good and I don't understand but I still trust Him. He struggled to feel God but never gave up in believing. A legacy for his kids and I. Thank you Pastor Keller for explaining so well God's truth. I learn so much.
And thank you Mary, because your comment helped me a lot too! Bless you and your family ♥️
I love Tim Keller, and will deeply miss his presence here on Earth, for now. His words always resonated with so much truth and wisdom, and shone hope into the darkest times in my life where nothing else seemed to penetrate. He always had such a logical, straightforward approach to explaining even the most difficult topics. His teaching will forever have an immense impact on my life as a Christian and I will take take heart from the fact that he is finally in the midst of that eternal joy of our creator:)
This sermon is certainly the most pertinent I've ever heard. While I've only been a follower of Jesus for a few years, the tenor of Psalm 88 generslly captures how I've felt since I was young. And while I have certainty now that Jesus died for us, still the darkness keeps invading my heart; but it's made all the more bearable because of that certainty, and it is this very sermon I just watched that has propped another pillar under this weary soul. Thank you, Chris, for sending me this; Thank you, Pastor Tim, God rest your soul, for so powerfully preaching on this subject; And thank you, Jesus Christ my savior, for loving us all so. Thank you, God.
When Ps Tim brought Jesus into the picture at the end of the message, everything, including our pain and suffering fell into place. My pain is incomparable to what Christ suffered for me on the cross. He was a Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief.
Thank you Pastor Timothy Keller for reminding me that in times of deep darkness I can never be abandoned because by Grace my salvation is fully in tact through Jesus who was confronted with total darkness and overcame. (Missing you only until we meet again...)
Who would've thought that a Psalm as dark as 88 could be so lovely. Thank you Pastor Tim Keller. God bless you, Evelyn C.
We all find ourselves in this message yet God is faithful to bring treasure forth out of our circumstances . To God be the glory!
I have been floundering a bit trying to find someone who speaks to what I feel. Thank you Dr. Keller for this sermon and for sharing your understanding. I have come to understand what you speak about but have felt alone in my circumstances. Hearing another human articulate it has soothed my despair and given me continued hope. Thanks also to whoever uploaded this talk. God bless you all for your service!
Jesus was the true holy example of how man's heart should be. ❤ Even some angels pray.
We will all face darkness some time and the Holy Spirit will shine even greater on the inside.
Beautiful sermon
What a gift this man is. Thank You Lord for the time You gave us.
This is one of the best sermons in the history of Christianity ✨
I think you have a good point. It IS a good sermon
30 min therapy sermons by Uncle Timothy? Yes please 🙏 May God be with you as you’re reading this!
Coming back to this…again. Thank you Father, for being near in the valley of the shadow of death.
first time for me... and how is it going for you?
I always come back to this teaching of the Word because it is such a blessing to me. I thank God for using Tim Keller to deliver this message.
The most powerful sermon I have ever heard in my life.
Im crying. This has conforted my soul and warmed my faith
A great man and teacher. Glad he is resting with the Father now.
Tim Keller makes me cry when he speaks he's such a peaceful a humble soul
Even when he is teaching difficult truths, he is gentle. Never compromising, but gentle. Matthew 11:28
Music he is confounded.

I prayed a long time to know what the truth was, because over the years I grew increasingly confused, frustrated, misguided and so on.. But like most of us, I kept returning to church Sunday after next hoping something would change. If I sang more, prayed harder, got more involved, etc, ...maybe something would give. But nothing ever did. I must have walked a thousand isles. It had gotten to a point where a friend at the time said, “just try and sing". He meant well, but it was always disingenuous so I never did. Long story short - my whole Christian life was that way until recently. (powerless) God has since opened my eyes and I trust Him alone.
I really hope this reaches somebody. If this is you... honestly, please look into what I’m saying. God is rich in mercy and His patience is unmatched. He's been drawing me for a long time. Maybe He’s drawing you too and this is the message you needed.

th-cam.com/video/DuVTlYYos0c/w-d-xo.html
"(if it were possible,) they shall deceiue the very elect.”
It’s imperative to understand that the av1611 is much different than the 1769 KJV that most believe is the true 1611 but is not. The KJV only movement doesn’t use the authorized version of 1611 either.
This is the bible that Rome has been trying to destroy and cast doubt on since its inception. Everything, from the gun powder plot to false rumours of King James being gay. It contains all the prophecies in tact. Things like, what is the mark of the beast, what is wormwood, who and what is Antichrist, who are Leviathan and Behemoth representations of, and so on.
If the scriptures are broken, the prophets are killed and the church can’t hear what the Spirit is saying.
freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.”
Matt 10:8
Keller seems good. Do a little more digging. Look up tim Keller and Marxism, you will probably get some results. Or tim Keller and critical race theory. He mixes the gospel with current popular political ideas.
@@prayunceasingly2029 Keller doesn't do extremes with his politics. He falls in the middle somewhere. There is some truth on the left as there is on the right. If you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.
@@curiousgeorge555
He quotes Marxists in his books. I was once an avid listener of his sermons at one point. But I'm really not a fan of his anymore.
Wonderful message. So I need to ask myself, 'why do I serve the Lord?' I am going through dark times. Do I serve the Lord because I love Him? If I do not find healing, then I must trust that God's grace will be sufficient to see me through to the end. Lord help us all to endure for your glory. Because of Christ and His work on the cross, there is always hope.
I thank God that He brought me to listen to your preaching Dr. Tim Keller. I don't know how hopeless my condition might have been had I not heard your preaching.
Your life has been a tremendous force for the Lord in millions of lives like mine. Thank you.
Co-sign! I watched this days before he died and I am back here again.
What an inspiration he was in the way he lived through illness - what a witness.
His life has been such a blessing.
Well done, Timothy.
“God knows how men speak when they are desperate.” I’ve been pretty desperate of late. Praise him for his mercy.
"Nothing that the Resurrection won't cure". How simple, profound - and true.Thank You Jesus; You are the Resurrection and the Life. You will make all things new!
I've been going through one of my darkest periods right now, emotionless, disconnected, finding it hard to pray, almost convinced I've committed the unpardonable sin. But after hearing all this, and knowing- REALLY knowing what Jesus went through for me... I broke down sobbing. My dark period is nothing next to what he went through.
Just enough, *just in time.* Thank you, Jesus. 😭 It's only now that I've come to realize the depth of your love for me.
Sow AG it is
Andrew did something happen or just had a moment of darkness ?
I hope you are in a better place, especially in light of the virus and riots.
If you are afraid that you committed the unpardonable sin, that means you haven't.
Ask for forgiveness then accept it and forgive yourself. God bless you.
Andrew Sarley this is what matters. This is the Trueth of the real Jesus Christ who is come in the flesh.

Best quote of the week!
I will definitely be using this: God is good, even when life isn't ❤ amen!
This is a godsend for me
@@lilmisspeace This reminds me of the other saying "life is hard but God is good".
2nd time watching this, in awe of this quote:
“When you go through darkness if you don’t feel God’s there. But you hold on anyway, and you say, "you know what you’re God and I’m not and I’m not getting anything out of this but I’m still going to pray, I’m still gonna go to church and worship I’m still going to love my neighbor I’m still gonna do the things I ought to do..That will turn you into a person not self-centered not in a transactional relationship up and down all the time it’ll turn you into a person of endurance, of stability, of strength, of greatness…" -Tim Keller: How to deal with dark times.
Amen! Thank you Lord for this encouragement. It is so hard when we go through darkness even to the point when darkness is our closest friend. Yet You taught us Lord that it is okay to pray of our struggles and to feel the despairs of life. Thank you Lord for giving us hope through Jesus who experienced total darkness and overcame it all. Post tenebras spero lucem...
;(( yes enduring But how much more.- answer trust GOD with all our heart, His Grace is sufficient. ;(0
Thank you as it is encouraging.
Your response is very helpful. Thank you.
I think I’ve watched this 5 times... wanting to remember EVERY WORD. Our son took his life 04/26/2019...nearly a year later, i am limping through life. I have said words similar to Heman... darkness IS sometimes my only friend, but I still get up each morning and get dressed...attend church every Sunday... but my heart still does not “feel” God’s love & comfort. I know it will eventually...and I have never been angry at God...
@@pamwehking2457 praying for you Pam. May God give you peace and healing and light your way through the darkness into the light of a new day.
Absolutely loved it too. Passed through a divorce and I gotta say, one of the worst things that can happen in a man’s life is to constitute a family and after years of marriage to found himself apart from his loved ones
What a beautiful reminder that our God is rock solid in goodness, faithfulness and grace. He does not run away from us in our weakness, pain and suffering but carries us through, working it all for good and for His glory. Hallelujah! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
I pray of all my heart for all the people who suffer, let us stay strong in faith and grace will prevail. Amen
God is so good. I’m in the darkness at the moment and I needed to bear wisdom. This was the first video I saw when I opened my app. Thank God.
Caron Lurrie I pray you learn understanding and Gods wisdom for you, in the darkness you are in. I pray you find relief and rest in Him. Romans 8:35 & 8:18, Col 3:13, Luke 6:27, Matt 11:28 and Psalm 27:14, God bless
Same here. I was thinking my whole family has been in darkness for the last two months, then last Sunday, our church reached out to us and prayed with us, and prayed for the light. Then the next morning, when I searched for the song "Worthy is the lamb", this video came out on my youtube. God is faithful! He went through the absolute darkness os that we don't have to. May God strengthen all of our hearts in Him!
Never stop trying god will be there somtime it takes time like joseph
May God be with you Caron. May he give you strength peace and love to fill your darkness.
Wonderful God.
We Worship you.
Im going thorugh the darkest times of my entire 47 years. Never experienced despair quite like this. Only Jesus can get me through this. Please pray for strength and endurance, and not to be angry with God.

I love Tim's message. Just what I need. Although the constant ads interrupting his preaching are really annoying.
What beautiful and factual Truth this sermon is. No theatrics. Just Truth Teaching. We need this sometimes. Rest In GOD'S Peace Man of GOD👑🙋🏾👑
I’ve just recently been introduced to Tm Keller’s ministry it’s like finding a gift from Jesus that I absolutely needed for my journey onward.
You have indeed found a treasure my friend! I have been a Christian for many years and deeply involved in church, but Dr. Keller’s teaching has transformed my faith to help me truly walk with Jesus, understanding more about who he is, every single day. Listen to his sermon on A Christian’s Happiness. Life-changing, like this one. Grace and peace to you in your journey.
This Psalmist prayer is not blasphemy or insult to God. This prayer is being honest with God. This sounds exactly like me. I show my frustration to God. God is a good listener. There is no one in this entire world who will genuinely listens to how you are feeling in dark times. Its only God. He can handle it. God is never upset with me because of my honesty. God listens and then He comforts you. He embraces you after all that.
@@gchome8713 very well said
This is the best sermon on suffering I've ever heard. I desperately needed something that avoided platitudes and honestly acknowledged true pain and how to hold onto God whilst maintaining authenticity.
I needed to hear this so badly! Thank you Pastor Tim! Live in peace my brother!
a good talk to reflect on as we go through the coronavirus situation
Anytime we are in darkness, we have to realize Christ suffered. Abraham, when he took Isaac to be sacrificed...can you imagine what was going thru his mind?
Have your church help with Covid response
Yuppp
Agreed. A year later, this is still true but takes a more determined clinging to God to know this deeply in our hearts and minds. Thank God for Easter Sunday.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
There are real blessings IN the Valley
The grace and faithfulness of God is our comfort and hope in times of darkness.
I just thank God for the life and ministry of Dr. Keller. I owe him so much. His work has encouraged me over many years, helping to built my faith in Christ.
Prayers for Tim and his family as he enters a hospice this week. Thank you Tim for inspiring and teaching me all these years
I just find out he is with the Lord🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful! This taught me a lot about the character of God.
Grateful to God for Pas. Tim Keller’s life and ministry.
this sermon is so so dear to my heart
Tim Keller is a truly world class Bible teacher. RIP.
Also just to say I think most of these same principles also apply to those who are not depressed, but still find it difficult to cultivate strong feelings of emotion/empathy towards God, despite knowing that Christianity is objectively true. I'm on the Autistic spectrum, and know shed loads of systematic theology and apologetics, but at the same time also have moderate alexithymia my whole life, towards others and towards God. I've struggled to break free from a transactional view of faith for as long as I can remember.
Overall this was extremely helpful and Godly.
He explains everything from the heart and he has human knowledge and observation so deep. And his sermons are interesting and he is never boring. He must be with God now.
Your expositions of the Word is increasing my maturity as a Christian. Listening to them has shifted me to another gear - I more than before appreciate God’s grace & seek on a daily basis to move away from the transactional relation many of us were fed. May God continue to keep your wife and children in His shadow.
A year into the pandemic. Lost friends, family, loved ones, and became filled with resentment, hopelessness and anger..
Really needed this.
Thank you and bless you Tim.
Praying that God fill you with hope, peace and joy.
I wish I would have found this sermon years ago. So good & needed.
I got so much what I did not expected from this teaching. God is really amazing and care. Thank you Lord .
I really REALLY needed to hear this tonight ❤
RIP Pastor Tim ❤🥺
May our God bless to those who were listening His voice though a man of God. We shall see him one day in His Kingdom
Ten minutes in, and I am already putting the whole sermon into several playlists entitled "sane gospel" "medicine cabinet" and "God's character". Ah, and "rewatch", of course. ♥️💎
Pastor Tim Keller had a wonderful life and ministry ❤
I stumbled upon your video - I have never heard anyone speak on this Psalm. My ex husband committed suicide and they found this Psalm in his billfold. I also have felt that God had abandoned me - so thank you so much for showing me the hope of God even in this horrible and hopeless darkness! God bless

The three films (free to watch), cover the history of the bible. More specifically the preservation of Gods word and the measures that have been taken to cast doubt on, and ultimately destroy it.

here is one very final clip on the "servants of Lucifer"
th-cam.com/video/DuVTlYYos0c/w-d-xo.html
"(if it were possible,) they shall deceiue the very elect.”
It’s imperative to understand that the av1611 is much different than the 1769 KJV that most believe is the true 1611 but is not. The KJV only movement doesn’t use the authorized version of 1611 either.
This is the bible that Rome has been trying to destroy and cast doubt on since its inception. Everything, from the gun powder plot to false rumours of King James being gay. It contains all the prophecies in tact. Things like, what is the mark of the beast, what is wormwood, who and what is Antichrist, who are Leviathan and Behemoth representations of, and so on.
If the scriptures are broken, the prophets are killed and the church can’t hear what the Spirit is saying.
freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.”
Matt 10:8
Praying for God’s resurrection power to penetrate our hearts this Easter. ❤️🙏❤️
There's NOTHING that the RESURRECTION won't cure!! AMEN!!! Thank you so much for sharing this message that has me weeping and be joyful at the same time~♥
God bless you Pr. Tim.
I cried most of the time watching this, but it feels like an answer to my prayers through your sermon, i felt comforted by the Love of God watching this!
Well said. Me too.
Yes, indeed!! Hear, hear!! Tim Keller is a treasure, God bless him…an authentic psychospiritual savant!!
This has helped me tremendously..

Please go get treatment from a psychologist.
I had the chance to meet Tim Keller & visit his church and i truly enjoy and bless by his WISDOM. Bless you pastor Tim & thanks for giving a complete different PERSPECTIVE of GOSPEL NO TRANSACTIONAL (VERY ORGANIC)
Life changing perspective: Job still prayed! Sure he complained and was angry, but He expressed those to God! Thank you so much for posting this video!
I found out about this marvelous pastor from my pastor Danny Gray in Windsor Canada. What a wonderful teacher!!!
Please pray for me, my situation looks so hopeless. Please pray!
Jim Chumley Heavenly Father, in the name of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ, I come to you on behalf of Jim. You know his situation but nothing is hopeless for you. Thank You for Your love, mercy and grace towards those who call out to you. Comfort, strengthen and cover Jim with Your peace as You unfold Your perfect plan in his situation . If he knows you, please strengthen this time of darkness, if he doesn’t, please draw him to Yourself and open his spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear ... to understand that Jesus died for the consequences of our sins and that upon believing and accepting this merciful act of divine grace, that we ... he becomes Your child and that You will rescue him not only from Hell but his insurmountable troubles here and now. May he know the all powerful, sovereign, loving, merciful God that you are and that what he is going through now is the making of an amazing testimony to encourage others and to draw other to You dear Lord - our Creator and loving Saviour but righteous Judge who will pronounce deserving judgement on the unrighteous, the unrepentant, in Jesus’ mighty name I pray -Amen!
Praying for you right now. Praying for God's peace for you that passes understanding. God knows your situation. He has a plan. I know that sounds so trite, but it is true. Praying for the best possible and quick solution. More than that, I pray that God draws you close.
How are you? Prayers still going up for you.
Our God is the God of the impossible. He knows what's going on and He will find a way out for you.
From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessings be on your people. Amen
Psalm 89 and psalm 39 stays close to my heart
I am currently living Psalm 88 and I’m doing poorly. Please God help me. I so miss my family.
You’re amazing. God has you in his hands.
@@seeker985 I know you posted this one year ago but I hope you read it. I hope things are better for you. I pray God’s peace and strength for you.
@ Gods promise to always be faithful is so true. He had to carry me in the beginning but He brought me through. I’m ever grateful for His love to us.
Father God, forgive me. I'm just like Heman. I complain and grumble and doubt You when I'm experiencing internal and external darkness. Forgive me for not trusting in Your unfailing love. I am YOUR child and YOUR servant, and it is not the other way around. I love you, dear Jesus. Thank You 🙏🏻🙌🏼✝️
This message was very helpful. Even after regeneration I lose my way and wander and I get angry with God and His spirit seems to leave me completely but yet even when I cry out to Him I love Him in the emptiness but more importantly He’s there and still loves me. Just the slightest touch from Him is unimaginable joy.
Scott Riley here is a point in the right direction.
Everybody needs to know this!
The whole world is drunk on the doctrines of Babylon!
INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY the visible Christian church.
PLEASE if you can sense the deadness of the institutional churches and different ministries but can't put your finger on it. I'm pleading with you to understand something very important here. The mainstream Christian system is not of God.
Rev 17:5 - "Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots, And Abominations Of The Earth."
Mystery Babylon The Great is the Vatican - “And the woman which thou sawest, is that great Citie which reigneth ouer the kings of the earth.” - Rev 17:18
And she has harlot daughters which represent the protestant churches.
And “the Abominations Of The Earth” are corrupt scriptures.
And the final bible that will unite all faiths is called Wormwood/the Abomination of desolation. cvillebiblebaptist.com/AdultEducation/Vatican%20and%20United%20Nations%20Bible.pdf
And Jesus Christ is calling His people out.
Rev 18:4
“And I heard another voice from heauen, saying, Come out of her, my people, that yee be not partakers of her sinnes, and that yee receiue not of her plagues:”
The most important thing to understand is that GOD CAN BE TRUSTED to preserve His word for every generation forever as He promises us in Psalms 12:6-7 and you do not need men to teach you.
1 John 2:27
“But the anointing which ye haue receiued of him, abideth in you: and yee need not that any man teach you: But, as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is trueth, and is no lye: and euen as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
It’s vital to know, especially right now, that God has kept His word in tact.
There is still an every word testimony with us!
The following clip by Reg Block is what the Lord used to open my eyes to the truth of Gods promises in Mark 13:31, Psalm 12:6-7, Psalms 138:2, and Matt 4:4 and so on.
It’s not more lifeless information. It is powerful and life changing and I’m grateful for it!

The next video is a lesson by John Doerr on the pure word of God in the English language, which is found in the av1611 kjv. This is a much different testimony than the King James bible you are able to easily find in the churches and the so called "Christian bookstores". Please pray and genuinely take this before the Lord. He will show you. (Prepare to be attacked once you start down this path) The devil and his ministers don’t want this going out.
th-cam.com/video/C9lIWdQ0rc0/w-d-xo.html
I prayed a long time to know what the truth was, because over the years I grew increasingly confused, frustrated, misguided and so on.. But like most of us, I kept returning to church Sunday after next hoping something would change. If I sang more, prayed harder, got more involved, etc, ...maybe something would give. But nothing ever did. I must have walked a thousand isles. It had gotten to a point where a friend at the time said, “just try and sing". He meant well, but it was always disingenuous so I never did. Long story short - my whole Christian life was that way until recently. (powerless) God has since opened my eyes and I trust Him alone.

What a precious gift this man has left the world so grateful we can still gleen from his wisdom 🙏 thank you for sharing 🥰 Blessings Gerowyn
Incredibly insightful teaching and so very encouraging. I'm in the middle of the darkest times of my 46 years, suffering abandonment and what I feel is injustice. To be able to ingest sound, Biblical truth that says it's in the midst of these horrible times, I can both learn more of God's grace and better stride to greatness than when in prosperous times - this encourages and inspires me, comforts and strengthens me. Glory to God!
Brian W Amen!
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways." Isaiah 55:8-9

Brian W I’m also 46 and going through the deepest darkest time as well.
Brian W Cling to the Word of God. 2010 was my season of abandonment and injustice...but these seasons have a beginning, middle, and end. The first 3 chapters of the Psalms blessed me greatly.
Prayers and blessings
Greg Snyder thank you very much. Definitely clinging to scripture. The book of Habakkuk is a great read and the declarations he chooses to make at the end lift my soul. “Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty; yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will remain joyful in the God of my salvation! The sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as sure footed as a deer, able to trade it up on the heights.”
Reading two new books- Craig Groeschel’s Hope in the Dark and Lysa TerHeurst’s It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way”, both really good. Thank you for the encouragement!
Lifting you and all facing darkness up in prayers for healing, perseverance and strength.
Brilliant teaching from one who suffered and remained faithful!
Thank you so much Mr Keller, what an amazing message. It was truly meant to be heard by me today. I’ll definitely be listening to it again. I am not alone in my darkness
Been binging on Tim Keller sermons lately. Awesome.
Yes! The only preacher that is cool,calm and composed in wise deliverance of the Word. Soothing in these times of darkness.
Definitely bingeing on his video sermons in the last couple of weeks and taking some notes too. His insight on these videos is really interesting and uplifting. Thank God for Pastor Keller's ministry.

Tim Keller is such a blessing with such an anointing from God to teach, I always come away from his sermons uplifted, edified and more in love with Jesus than ever before
Co-sign!!!
I needed to hear this today. We have to continue the journey with Christ even when we are suffering 🙏🏾
Natalie Nubukpo,
Amen! A concept Timothy Keller does well in reminding us is how the more we see Jesus Christ and learn about Him, we are constantly reminded how He demands much less and much more at the same time. Such applies to situations of suffering; and knowing Jesus Christ more and more makes situations of suffering demand more from us to stay joyful and ethical while promising us how there are greater & better things ahead. There is a demand to have a more resilient self and realize how He makes all things work together for the good of those who believe in Him but also with promises that God will eventually give us more than what we can ever imagine.
Many people turn to different philosophies and religions when there is suffering; and they cry out in despair in most crucial times. All of them have so many different answers to suffering including some that state such is only an illusion.
John Kim ,,,
Maybe Derek Kidner changed your life with those few sentences. (13:30) But pastor Keller you changed my life with this preaching. Honestly.

I LOVE this sermon! You are so right! If you come to Jesus for any other reason than accepting His free gift of salvation and loving Him for His love, grace, mercy and faithfulness, you are in danger of falling away in disappointment. Hold fast to the anchor of Truth, in what your eyes cannot see & sometimes you cannot feel.
